  2. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

    BCD takes advantage of the fact that any one decimal numeral can be represented by a four-bit pattern. An obvious way of encoding digits is Natural BCD (NBCD), where each decimal digit is represented by its corresponding four-bit binary value, as shown in the following table. This is also called "8421" encoding.

  3. Comment (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comment_(computer_programming)

    An illustration of Java source code with prologue comments indicated in red and inline comments in green. Program code is in blue.. In computer programming, a comment is a human-readable explanation or annotation in the source code of a computer program.

  4. Java syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_syntax

    A snippet of Java code with keywords highlighted in bold blue font. The syntax of Java is the set of rules defining how a Java program is written and interpreted. The syntax is mostly derived from C and C++. Unlike C++, Java has no global functions or variables, but has data members which are also regarded as global variables.

  5. BCD (character encoding) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCD_(character_encoding)

    BCD (binary-coded decimal), also called alphanumeric BCD, alphameric BCD, BCD Interchange Code, [1] or BCDIC, [1] is a family of representations of numerals, uppercase Latin letters, and some special and control characters as six-bit character codes. Unlike later encodings such as ASCII, BCD codes were not standardized. Different computer ...

  6. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

    To see why this is necessary, consider the following example showing the case of the addition of −1 (11111110) to +2 (00000010): binary decimal 11111110 −1 + 00000010 +2 ─────────── ── 1 00000000 0 ← Not the correct answer 1 +1 ← Add carry ─────────── ── 00000001 1 ← Correct answer

  7. Don't-care term - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't-care_term

    Examples of don't-care terms are the binary values 1010 through 1111 (10 through 15 in decimal) for a function that takes a binary-coded decimal (BCD) value, because a BCD value never takes on such values (so called pseudo-tetrades); in the pictures, the circuit computing the lower left bar of a 7-segment display can be minimized to a b + a c by an appropriate choice of circuit outputs for ...

  8. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    The binary representations in Pingala's system increases towards the right, and not to the left like in the binary numbers of the modern positional notation. [15] In Pingala's system, the numbers start from number one, and not zero. Four short syllables "0000" is the first pattern and corresponds to the value one.

  9. Hamming distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance

    For a fixed length n, the Hamming distance is a metric on the set of the words of length n (also known as a Hamming space), as it fulfills the conditions of non-negativity, symmetry, the Hamming distance of two words is 0 if and only if the two words are identical, and it satisfies the triangle inequality as well: [2] Indeed, if we fix three words a, b and c, then whenever there is a ...
